Spotlight: Edward Deeds

Edward Deeds spent most of his life in a Nevada mental institution 
(1930 - 1970). While living there, he became fascinated with drawing 
pictures. As a gift, he bound his drawings and presented them to his
 brother. In1969, the book was found by a teenage boy at the dump. 
Art dealer, Harris Diamant, purchased the rare book in 2007
 and has been trying to solve the mystery of Edward Deeds since.

  1. J'aime l'Art brut car c'est toujours très onirique et enfantin
